|
| Requisites: |
|
| Learning Outcomes:
| By the end of this unit, you will be able to:
- Explain complex water and wastewater treatment and re-use systems and unit operations in a whole system approach, both in the design phase and during day-to-day operation.
- Characterize and classify pollutants and explain biological, chemical and physical processes to remove them.
- Apply concepts and design of water and wastewater treatment systems, to provide fit for purpose water quality and minimise the total overall water and energy use.
- Assess the performance of water and wastewater treatment systems using appropriate performance indices.
|
| Synopsis: | You will develop your understanding of water resources, water quality, contaminants, and water monitoring. Working on real world case studies you will explore different technologies for water supply and wastewater treatments in municipal and industrial contexts. You will advance your understanding of complex water and wastewater treatment systems and critically assess their performance through appropriate indices. A site visit to a water treatment works may be included.
|
| Content: | - Description and measurement of water quality including the development of legal standards and water quality regulations for drinking water and treated wastewater effluent.
- Overview of potential water resources and their characteristics.
- Different water treatment technologies for water supply and wastewater treatment, including biology, (bio)chemistry and physics of these processes.
- Case studies of real-life water treatment processes integrating the knowledge from the above into a bigger picture on water and wastewater treatment, including the assessment of their performance through appropriate indices.
